Erosion furrow
Erosion groove is a form of fluvial relief , formed on deluvial slopes during the transition of a planar wash to a linear one [1] . They can form in easily eroded rocks after a rainstorm and subsequently collect rain and melt water.
When viewed in cross section, the erosion groove is a V-shaped or box-shaped depression with steep walls with a depth of 3 to 30 cm and a length several times the width [1] . At the same time, the depth of formations increases if the amount of water flowing through the furrow increases, and becomes smoother if the flow of water stops [1] .
A furrow formed in plowed soil with sparse vegetation turns into a ravine with an increase in watercourse [1] [2] .
